Congratulations @Carbonjvd on completing the Jool 5 Challenge! I see you put this as a level two with a question mark after it, but since you picked up two of your crew from Minmus orbit, only the original crew member launched with the craft is being counted, meaning this is a level 1 submission. Regardless, that is quite the stylish vehicle, and I'm impressed you were able to make an SSTA that could handle Tylo THAT BIG. I'll add you to the leaderboard now.

I suppose you're right about the Jool orbit thing, I just can't remember a submission that made it look so easy ;). Adding you to the leaderboard now.

Yes! Video submissions are my favorite! It's a little long though, so I'll watch it later today and judge it then. Just based off the thumbnail the mission looks amazing though!

Congratulations @Ksp Slingshooter for completing the Jool 5 Challenge on level 3! Your mothership is one of the more practical looking ones I've ever seen, and the way the landers all left the mothership in Jool orbit to get to all the moons in definitely something I haven't seen before. I thought your Tylo lander was impressive, I like the Vall-Laythe rescue, and I'm impressed on your dedication to get everyone home on ladders, not to mention the last minute rendezvous. One question though, how did you timewarp back to Kerbin if the kerbals on ladders prohibited it? I am sorry to hear that. My first ever Jool 5 attempt ended similarly. My Tylo lander got krakened, so the booster engines were rooted to each other, and the core stage was just there. The craft literally came apart like legos, and I had to abort the mission. I will be sure to see your videos when they come up. I wouldn't get too discouraged though. Since you know exactly what went wrong, testing and attempting again could help the KSC complete the mission. No worries, as long as your mission has no inconsistencies you're fine. I did the same thing on my first Jool 5. Hello, 1. Nope, it does not. 2. Yes 3. Yes 4. Yes 5. Yes Best of luck!

No refueling mission allowed, that is correct.

@jost @Ksp Slingshooter The rule meant you could send a fuel tanker to refuel the craft, but not transfer landers or anything else besides fuel to the vessel. Slingshooter could you post a screenshot of your craft with the kerbals on it?

Best of luck! Visually I like everything about this craft, especially the Laythe heat-shield. Thanks for sharing! If you plan to use it to complete the Jool 5 challenge, I only ask you try and reduce the fuel tank clipping.

Yeah that works. Although can you timewarp with kerbals on a ladder?

As long as you don't have the jetpacks push the ship and you don't use the ladder as a kraken drive you can.

I have decided to reattempt the challenge in career mode, I just can't figure out how to reasonably hire 500 Kerbals. Might have to adjust the rules if this is deemed impossible by other contenders.

Up to you really. I'm only going to suggest this next part, but consider what a colony is. Colonies can get help, but the ultimate goal is to colonize. Perhaps in the end the Jool system's colonies should be self-sufficient?

Holy cow! Congratulations on completing the Jool 5 Challenge on Jeb's level, and with the 6.4x world-size multiplier! Your album was so well-captioned it took me two days to get through it, but I'll add you to the leaderboard immediately! Incredible job! Also, the name fits the mission well. That was quite the absolute unit.

Nope, it's all good. The commentary was hilarious, I was audibly laughing instead of just breathing out my nose quickly. Also the game crashes reminded me all too well of instances where I've had a game crash 30 minutes into a laggy launch, I'm glad yours went as -relatively- smoothly as it did. (also I'm really digging the ship's design). Keep up the good work, I eagerly await part 2!

Congrats on completing the Jool 5 mission on level 1. You did forget to put a flag on Pol, but it seems it was just a mistake so I'll let it slide. I liked your video and music choice, I also thought choice of engines and the general design of your mission was interesting, especially the off center rocket you left in Jool orbit. Adding your submission the leaderboard now.

Think about it like this, are you using a freighter as a rover? I think the rover should be separate, but if your freighter can do all that, putting a rover in the back to ferry around doesn't sound all that difficult. Why don't you post a picture, it might be easier to decide that way.

KJR is allowed.

Congratulations @jinnantonix on completing the Jool 5 challenge on level one with a low cost submission! I am especially impressed on how easy you make a Jool 5 mission look, and how much use you got out of that Laythe tanker. Adding you to the leaderboard now! On a side note: IRL events might temporarily slow my ability to review submissions, but don't worry, I'll get to them. Yeah that's fine. Good luck on your submission

@jinnantonix I've watched the first half of your video and it's great but I'm about to fall asleep so I'll finish reviewing it tomorrow. (Also, I never thought I would see an aerocapture without a heat shield for capturing in Jool's SOI again! Wow!)

Yeah you can use seats now.

Go right ahead and best of luck! This is the most recent version of the thread unless it got rebooted without me knowing.

Yeah so it has come to my attention there are no normal maps. This will be patched in short time.

Dres Moons Mod (1.8.1) What Does this Mod Add? The Dres Moons Mod adds two moons to Dres. Pacito: A small, reddish brown moon that orbits near Dres. It is thought to contain a small amount of iron. Ceric: A small, bluish snowball with a bright orange crater and a very faint ring. Quite the curious world indeed, especially since it (like Eeloo) has no surface scatter.

Best of luck! You can use the USI mods, just remember you can't use any OP engines or science experiments they add.

Yes. For a level two entry at least two Kerbals must land on each moon together.

Congratulations on completing the Jool 5 challenge on level 1! I'll add you to the board now. (Also I really liked your mother ship flying around with the offcenter Bop/Pol lander!)
